Peek- A- Boo! 

Honestly, I feel uneasy whenever I wear cropped tops during day time. People here in the Philippines are not accustomed to seeing girls showing a part of her torso while walking down the streets. haha! I commuted that day to my event and yes I wore this while commuting, I just buttoned down my blazer to cover my skin. hihi So there another tip for girls who commute like me! You can still commute without sacrificing style!;)

So I wore this to the Pump Juice Bars Grand Opening at The Hub, Greenfield district. The weather is soooo unpredictable so I always layer these past few days. I'm not a 'pants' girl so I wear shorts and skirt most of the time. 

By the way, have your tried Pump Juice Bars? You should!!! Try Breakfast Blaster! You won't regret it! Watch out for my next post to know more about their grand opening!:)

When I was in 3rd year college, I started wearing corporate outfits. I have to, it's a requirement. It's the time when I'm applying for internships. Admit it, it's really hard to pull off a corporate attire, besides being boring, it's also uncomfortable to wear. But of course, there's always a way for anything. You have to consider the job that you're applying for. Luckily in my field, I can play up with colors and different styles because I apply for companies connected with retail or anything the creative field. In this look, I wore a pair of black skinny jeans since I'm not a fan of slacks. I wore this white sheer top and layered my striped blazer to make it look corporate. Add accessories to make it look chic but don't overdo it. You can mix and match clothes to achieve a chic corporate attire like a bodycon skirt, a nice top and a pair of pointed pumps. Make sure you'll carry your nicest bag to look more stylish.

So I chose my favorite ensembles from the show. Take a look :)

Don't you just love the vibrant colors joined together? The neon blazer and blue pants look so well with the printed top!:)

Hiiiii! (in my most giddy tone)

I've missed posting personal stuff in my blog! I'm actually excited to post this one! Again, I'm sorry for the blogging hiatus. I think it's been a month since I've posted something of my own. I'm just enjoying summer and by summer I mean bumming out LOL and doing 'adult' stuff like getting 'adult' i.d.s, and of course job hunting hihi. I'm unemployed, single and having fun! I'm actually not rushing things right now, it's my last summer without thinking about school and not stressing out about anything so I might as well have fun and wait for the serious stuff to happen.

So about this look, this is what I wore at the Playspace event by Acer. I wasn't able to attend Playspace Day 1 because of prior commitments so I was only able to attend Day 2. I asked my friend Jonard on what to wear for the event and he just said "artsy chic". haha He's not serious but I took it seriously and this is what I came up with. I'm keeping myself from wearing jeans/pants. The scorching heat in Manila is unbearable and I cannot force myself to wear clothes that seals in all the heat in my body. I opted to wear my bodycon skirt, a simple black top and this denim vest to brighten up the look. I'm going to commute so I can't risk in wearing heels and I'm too lazy to bring extra shoes so I wore my sneaker wedges! Makes me feel so tall and 'commute friendly' at the same time!;)

Thank you Paowee Castillo for sending me these photos and for Jonard Palteng for taking them.

Some photos during the event!

My favorite speakers! Awesome underwater photographer Mr. Gutsy Tuason and Christina Tantengco Editor in Chief of http://www.kamustamagazine.ph/ :)

and of course the much awaited UP DHARMA DOWN!!!

Fan girling at it's finest!:)

 The event was awesome and educational. We learned a lot of stuff from the guest speakers. The concept of Playspace is to play and learn at the same time. They provided us with party poppers, bubbles, pen, paper, notebook and they also hosted games to keep us entertained. Mad props to Acer for having an event like this!

So there, I'm back to blogging! I promise to keep you guys updated and sorry in advance because I'm planning to post backlogs but don't worry I'll keep it interesting. Another thing, I'm in the process of putting up my own clothing line and will sell it online soon! I'll keep you guys posted!:)

Finally a decent up to date outfit post! haha! Though this was taken a week ago, I still think it's recent. Anyway is it just me or does December feel like summer? Seriously the heat is insane! I've been wearing lots of summer-y outfits lately. I thought this season's for sweater and pullovers? What happened to the weather? 

Anyway, let me share you what I wore last week. I wore this when I went to Ocean Park with the whole family. My grandmother's been dying to see it since she's too old and not capable to go to different places by herself, we all went there and spent Sunday together. As to my outfit, I want something nautical since we're going to an underwater experience..(yess tumetema!) haha! It's really hot that day so I opted to wear something comfy yet chic. 

I love my shorts that I got from SM kids! Actually it's a skort. It's pair a shorts with pretty pleats that can be mistaken for a skirt. I'm so happy that it's comes with this color, Salmon! It's one of my favorite colors. It matches my personality.

1. Top, SM GTW 2.Shorts, SM Kids 3. Bag, Gifts Ahoy

4. Belt, SM Accessories 5. Charm Bracelet, Hiss Bliss

6. Necklace and Rings, Love Diva

7. Flats, Kickers

8. Sunnies, Shop at Tops

By the way, I'm planning of getting my own domain soon! Any suggestions of what should I name it?:)
